I'm 99% sure this is an app error caused by the photo of the article I was looking at yesterday being applied to the thing I was looking up today, but for a moment I thought it was intentional.
The image of Agatha Christie where the image of Jeremy Allen White should be on a Wikipedia article results in noticing similarities on nose and face shape.

You: There is no valid use case for AI-generated art

Me:
An AI-generated image of a Scrub Jay hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's (a raccoon for some reason?) ride. The ride is orange with black pinstriping, and appears to be an early 1970s Challenger, Camaro, or Chevelle. The Scrub is wearing chains and a baseball cap. There is "writing" on the hat, but it doesn't say anything. I checked. Although the Scrub's mouth is closed, the way he's leaning out of the window suggests he has been hollering, but AI refuses to generate an image of living celebrity, Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, despite her impressive work on the TLC track, No Scrubs.

Thank you friend! We're at a vacation rental in Bodega Bay. If I die, these Birds probably did it.

View of yellow petaled flower next to dry stalks. "Madia elegans is an annual herbaceous plant species in the family Asteraceae." (Wikipedia) They open and close based on heat and moisture and eventually dry up like a dandelion. I love them.

It IS a lithograph, not an original, and it's unnumbered. But here's the thing... the mat they SCOTCH TAPED IT TO (shudder) is a numbered lithograph that matches the certificate of authenticity!
Large second lithograph of different subject matter (an orchid instead of a Parisian street) Close up of second artist's signature.

It's here, it's here, it's here!
An offset lithograph and mat are out of the frame.

Ugh can't believe it's only August and they're already putting out the traditional purple pampas grass and boucle pumpkins of autumn.

This Certificate is for a totally different painting by a totally different artist?!?! Who is Lynda Hoffman Snodgrass, and what is "Bedazzle"?
